Three Orange men's lacrosse players have been named to the Tewaaraton Award watch list. Seniors Brian Megill and JoJo Marasco and junior Derek Maltz are candidates for the award, which is presented to the college lacrosse player of the year.

Colgate's senior Peter Baum and sophomore Ryan Walsh also are on the list.

Cornell's Rob Pannell, a 2011 Tewaaraton finalist, is joined by teammates Connor English and Steve Mock.

In all, 92 players were named to the watch list released Friday by the Tewaaraton Award Foundation.

All three of SU's potential nominees were named preseason All-Americans by Inside Lacrosse. Megill and Marasco were also named to the All-Big East Preseason Team, and Megill was tabbed the Big East co-Preseason Defensive Player of the Year.

Baum won the 2012 Tewaaraton Award. He led the nation with 67 goals and 97 points and was the first Colgate, Patriot League and West Coast player to take home the honor.

Baum and Walsh have spearheaded the Raiders offensive attack through the first two games of 2013. Baum has five goals and three assists and had his 28th career hat trick Saturday at Vermont. Walsh has three goals and four assists.

Cornell's Pannell and Mock make up two-thirds of what is expected to be one of the most potent attack units in the nation. English has made the move to the Big Red midfield for the 2013 season.

The watch list includes 2012 finalists Will Manny of Massachusetts and Mike Sawyer of Loyola.
